��Apr�s la r�cente r�apparition sur
le march�des enregistrements mythiques par Markevitch
en 1960 de la musique de Lili Boulanger�nous parvient ce mois le travail
remarquable de Mark Stringer avec les forces du Philharmonique du Luxembourg,
dans un programme forc�ment comparable.
�Stringer nous m�nage pour nous d�voiler
le c�t� mystique,
surnaturel de cette musique. Du coup, on gagne quelques effets de couleurs
r�ellement exceptionnels, des soul�vements in�dits et
r�gl�s au cordeau. Grand coloriste, Stringer nous plange dans
un monde de mati�res luxuriantes parfaitement compos�es et
amen�es. Sa direction du ch�ur est une le�on d�ampleur
et de delicatesse, parvenant partout � soutenir et porter les voix
vers leur paroxysme d�expressivit�. Superbe
manifeste d�un vrai grand chef. �
��After the recent reappearance on the market�of the
mythical recordings by Markevich in 1960 of the music of the music of Lili
Boulanger�we see arriving this month the remarkable work of Mark Stringer
with the forces of the Philharmonic of Luxembourg, in a program strongly comparable.
��Stringer manages to reveal to us the mystical, supernatural
aspect of this music. From the start one is won over by certain truly exceptional
effects of colour, of breakthroughs novel and tightly controlled. A great colorist,
Stringer plunges us into a world of luxurious materials perfectly composed
and cleverly introduced. His direction of the choir is a lesson in breadth
and delicacy, succeeding especially in sustaining and carrying the voices through
their paroxysms of expression�. A superb
manifestation of a truly great conductor.�
